    It’s a classic CEO move though: cut the workforce and expect the numbers to go up.

      That’s not why they did it though.

      The extra funds that were recently given to the IRS that had Republicans screaming they’re coming for you Johnny America! were ment to give the IRS the means to actually go after the wealthy who have methods of evading taxes so complex that typically the IRS can’t afford to spend the time chasing so they just focus on us poors.

      Republicans obviously cant have the ownership class actually pay taxes like the rest of us or they wouldn’t be Republicans.

        My analogy was rather cryptic. What I meant was that they were doing cuts on the very mechanism that generates revenue, just like a CEO doing a mass layoff.
